Author(s): Bo Pang, Fei You, Taotao Pang, Rongxing Qin, Zehua Xiao, Yingjie Liu, Yingyu Liu, Xinyu Wang, Junfu Guo, Songbai He

Abstract:

This article presents a 2–18 GHz high-efficiency CMOS nonuniform distributed power amplifier (NDPA) with a novel reconfigurable inductive termination technique for ultra-broadband efficiency enhancement. First, the inherent drawback of the degrading efficiency with growing frequency in a conventional non-reconfigurable NDPA architecture with multi-octave bandwidth is studied. A simple and effective reconfigurable …

Author(s): Geuntae Kim, Hyunjin Ahn, Kyutaek Oh, Ilku Nam, Ockgoo Lee

Abstract:

This letter presents a highly efficient power amplifier (PA) using a parallel-combined vertical multisegment transformer for 5G new radio (NR) applications operating in bands n257 and n258, in a 65-nm bulk CMOS process. A multisegment transformer facilitates a lower provided input impedance than a conventional transformer, enabling the PA to …

A Self-Injection LC Oscillator for Flicker Noise Reduction

A Self-Injection LC Oscillator for Flicker Noise Reduction 150 150
Author(s): Bahram Jafari, Ali Ghafari, Sankaran Aniruddhan, Shahriar Mirabbasi, Sudip Shekhar

Abstract:

Self-injection has been used in lasers and photonic integrated circuits to reduce the laser’s phase noise (PN). We show that self-injection can be leveraged in GHz LC oscillators as well. Our oscillator employs a current-domain self-injection technique by leveraging second-harmonic extraction, capacitive phase shifting, and self-mixing through the oscillator’…

Integrated Spatiotemporal Multiscale- Multiphysics-Uncertainty Simulation for Controlling Variability in RRAM Devices

Integrated Spatiotemporal Multiscale- Multiphysics-Uncertainty Simulation for Controlling Variability in RRAM Devices 150 150
Author(s): Ziyan Liao, Zhiheng Huang, Min Xiao, Yuezhong Meng, Hui Yan, Yang Liu

Abstract:

Resistive random access memory (RRAM) is a leading candidate for next-generation nonvolatile memory and neuromorphic computing. However, its performance is limited by inherent switching variability and uncertainties in spatiotemporal multiscale materials and processes. This study integrates multiphysics and multiscale modeling with uncertainty quantification (UQ) to systematically address these limitations and …

A Multicore Programmable Variable-Precision Near-Memory Accelerator for CNN and Transformer Models

A Multicore Programmable Variable-Precision Near-Memory Accelerator for CNN and Transformer Models 150 150
Author(s): Yiming Yang, Yiyang Yuan, Xinghua Wang, Xiaoran Li, Hao Wu, Qihao Liu, Weiye Tang, Xiangqu Fu, Feng Zhang

Abstract:

Convolutional neural network (CNN) and transformer are the most popular neural network models in computer vision (CV) and natural language processing (NLP). It is quite common to use both these two models in multimodal scenarios, such as text-to-image generation. However, these two models have very different memory mappings, dataflows and …
